What is NIH Required Education in the Protection of Human Research Participants?
Beginning October 1, 2000, the NIH required education on the protection of human research participants for all investigators submitting NIH applications for grants or proposals for contracts; this also applies to new as well as non-competing awards for research involving human subjects. In keeping with this requirement, and in accordance with our Federalwide Assurance which states that federal requirements will be met for federally sponsored research, as well as other human subjects research regardless of sponsorship, effective October 1, 2000, all personnel listed on human subjects protocols must complete the IRB approved educational on-line tutorial program available at the IRB Admin website.
